TT&C/TC&R
KONGSBERG offers Command receivers and Telemetry transmitters targeting mainly GEO telecom satellites. Key for both products is the inbuilt frequency flexibility, allowing in-orbit broad banded selection of receive and transmit frequencies.
Command receivers
Features
- CAN-Bus or Platform Specific Interface
- In-Orbit Switchable FM/PM Mode
- Excellent Interferer Immunity
Main specifications
- Input Level Range: -50 to -112 dBm
- Data: 250, 500, 1000, 2000 or 4000 bps on 8 kHz / 16 kHz subcarrier
- 4 kHz to 100 kHz range tones
- BER < 10-6 at telecommand threshold level
Heritage
- 25 in orbit
- 23 for launch
- 17 in progress
Telemetry transmitters
